“I can't begin to describe the amazing wedding celebration we had at The Terrace at Biagio's. We had our ceremony at the venue as well and everything went perfect! Barbara and John were top tier! Communicating with me from the moment we met until the wedding, answering all my questions at all hours and making our vision come to life! They were on top of everything from start to finish, and we were constantly taken care of us. Not only did they excel but they did it all with great personality and love! The Terrace itself was a gem! Our guests raved about the cocktail hour! It was an assortment of the best food possible, all so fresh and impossible to not go back for more. Bar service was top notch and our signature drinks were a hit! (Barbra actually was the one who made that vision come alive! Lavender martini and bacon maple ole fashioned). The dessert hour was a fire show! (Literally a fire show) And there was every dessert possible! Carnival, ice creams, cakes, cookies, chocolate fondue, etc! We had our first look down the road at another location but we took photos on site in the front of the entrance to the terrace and they came out beautiful! It's a smaller area but it has beautiful flowers and a stream. The ceremony was on the roof top and it was beautiful with the waterfall fountain and stone fire place! Lots of cute places to take some very nice photos! Along with the string lights and arch, it was a dream. I can't rave enough about how much Biagios made our day so enjoyable, and beautiful. I would recommend them over and over again thank you again to the hardworking staff, Barbara, John and Tommy. It is a night we will cherish forever. Oh, and they allow dogs to be in the ceremony It was everything to be able to have our fur baby share our special day with us.”

“Dreams really do come true at the Tides!The best thing you can do is book your wedding there. From the day we booked and leading up to our big day Michael was very forthcoming and helpful. He was very responsive, followed up on all my questions and made sure we felt supported. The venue itself looks out of a fairytale. They are in a rural location so the greenery as you drive up is beautiful. The inside looks akin to a palace with many rooms and a beautiful lobby.  You don't even have to decorate too much because the place itself is so elegant and classy. The garden is soooo breathtaking. They have 2 ceremony spaces outside, beautiful flowers and greenery. Plus it's so big! You get a lot of bang for your buck. I didn't hire a day of coordinator and I basically planned everything myself with the bridal party, but the Maitre D and venue staff were very instrumental in making sure our event ran smoothly. I was super nervous thinking about the day of. I planned everything out but couldn't leave my seat because hello, I'm the bride lol. I was getting ready all morning.  But thanks to our Maitre D Alberto, the event flower perfectly. He kept us on time. Helped get the bridal party together. He literally went above and beyond. It's so incredible just thinking back to it. I know some venues are hands off. But the staff was just so dedicated to making our every request happen if possible. Thanks to Alberto, our wedding day went by beautifully without any hitch or drama. It's unbelievable because I heard there is always some kind of issue the day of. We paid for a 6am opening so me and my bridesmaids could get ready at the venue. Michael set up a wonderful breakfast in the bridal suite it was like being home! We were so comfortable and we're ready on time for our 11am start. Truly wonderful. We had the small bridal suite so to our small party but it was super nice and a great set up for getting ready! The food and the drinks were to die for. First of all, the cocktail hour was loaded with so much food! Not only do they include a variety of delicious hor'devours. You get to choose from from different entrees and stations. The guest are still raving about it a month later! Everything was excellent. From the presentation to the quality of the meals, it was the best wedding food I've ever had. When the reception came all the guests were too stuffed for their reception entrees! My cake came from David's Custom Cakes, their partner. I got the dulce de leche filling and let me tell you it was so rich! I'm definitely coming back the next time I need a cake! Honestly I am a happy bride. I have no regrets, in fact it was even better than I imagined! Don't hesitate to book them, you will not regret it!”

“Westmount Country Club exceeded any and all expectations! I knew our wedding was going to be amazing, but Westmount somehow managed to blow even my highest expectations out of the water. If you are dreaming of a big New Jersey wedding that your guests will never forget, there is truly no place like Westmount! We had our wedding in the Grand Ballroom in September of 2026, and it was absolutely breathtaking. But what truly sets Westmount apart is the cocktail hour. Between the indoor and outdoor spaces, the incredible variety of food, and the abundance of seating with tables and lounge couches, there is room for everyone to comfortably move around, socialize, and enjoy themselves. It is truly a New Jersey wedding dream! And the food? Every single item was somehow better than the last. Our guests are still talking about it! Another detail I absolutely loved was the signature martini menu! You rarely see drink menus at weddings, and I thought this was such a fun touch. If guests aren't sure what to order, they can browse the menu for inspiration and choose from a selection of delicious signature drinks. And let me tell you, the drinks are just as good as they sound! Anwar, our banquet manager, was incredible from start to finish. He helped us bring our vision to life, was so generous with everything he provided, and answered every question I had throughout the planning process. No matter how many texts or calls I sent, he was always there to help. I felt supported every step of the way and knew we were in the best hands. Karen, our maître d’, provided the most exceptional service throughout the entire night. Everything ran so smoothly, and she was constantly checking in to make sure we were okay. She made sure both we and our parents had time to eat and enjoy ourselves instead of getting swept away in the excitement of the evening. Those little details mean everything on your wedding day, and her care did not go unnoticed. And then there was the Viennese hour! It was an entire SHOW, complete with baked Alaska taking center stage on the dance floor. One of my favorite details was that they brought all of the desserts right into the ballroom so our guests could enjoy them without ever having to leave the dance floor. Our dance floor was packed all night long, and the energy never stopped until the lights came on! We were even able to bring Chick-fil-A in at the end of the reception for our guests, and the Westmount team set up a beautiful table with warming lights to display everything. They went above and beyond to make even that little detail feel special! Westmount doesn't just provide a beautiful venue; they create an unforgettable experience for the couple and every single guest. And my guests will be talking about this experience for a long time to come! From the breathtaking ballroom and unbelievable cocktail hour to the food, drinks, and exceptional service from Anwar and Karen, every detail was handled with so much thought and professionalism. We felt taken care of from beginning to end, and our wedding day was everything we dreamed of and so much more. I am already praying I get invited to another wedding at Westmount soon because I want to experience it all over again as a guest! I truly could not recommend Westmount Country Club more highly. If you have the opportunity to get married here, do it. You will not regret it!”

“From our first walkthrough at Riverview ballroom with Stefania to the end of the wedding, everyone at the venue was amazing - helpful, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. The space was immaculate, with beautiful views and multiple areas that worked perfectly for each part of the celebration, including a lovely outdoor ceremony ( chuppah) space. The many inclusions were a real bonus and made planning much easier: staging, chairs, tables, professional staff, bars, and valet service - which was greatly appreciated by our guests! Our band and party planner both found the venue extremely easy to work with, which truly contributed to a smooth and well-run event. We also used the venue’s recommended kosher caterer, Elite, and they did an outstanding job. The location is ideal—close to the city, easy to reach by car or public transportation.

Ivy Inn 
Hasbrouck Heights, NJ
  • Up to 65 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

For over a century patrons have found comfort in this historic building nestled in the heights of the Meadowlands, presently home to Ivy Inn. Opened in the 1870’s as a stagecoach inn, travelers in horse and carriage along Polifly Road (later named Terrace Avenue) stopped here to eat and drink in the tavern below and sleep in one of six guest quarters above. After the turn of the 20th century, the inn evolved into a fine dining restaurant (a popular speakeasy during Prohibition), but eventually fell into disrepair. On Valentine’s Day of 1997, after extensive restoration, the inn once again opened its doors for fine dining, renamed Ivy Inn. Ivy, the symbol of love and marriage, has proven to be a fitting name. Since reopening, the restaurant has witnessed countless marriage proposals, weddings and anniversary celebrations. Continuing its long legacy of hospitality, the inn is once again a Bergen County favorite and continues to inspire cherished memories for many years to come.
